FOUR BY-ELECTIONS
VOTE SPLITTING EXPECTED IN BRITAIN CANDIDATES FOR COMMONS (Australian and K.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.55 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. Four Parliamentary by-elections are now pending. One of these is in Northern Ireland, caused by the appointment of Sir Malcolm MacNaughton, member for Londonderry, as judge of the King’s Bench. Other vacancies are caused by the deaths of Sir George Hutchinson, Conservative member for North-Mid-Lothian, Mr. Ben Spoor, Labour member for Bishop Auckland, and Mr. George Warne, Labour member for Wansbeck. Four candidates will probably contest the Mid-Lothian seat, the Scottish Nationalists having decided to nominate a candidate as well as each of the three principal parties. There will be a three-cornered contest at Wansbeck and at Bishop Auckland, where Mr. Hugh Dalton, who is at present member of Parliament for Peekham, is prospective Labour candidate. The Labour executive has decided to invite his wife, Mrs. Dalton, to contest the Peekham seat.
